Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

My son, Aaron, learned a new word today.  He heard it used in conversation multiple times in a thirty minute period late this morning.  The word was “obsolete”.  We were able to discuss that word throughout the day today, as well as how it applied to various aspects of the life he knows.  More on…

As I sat down to relax a bit in my parlor late this afternoon, the sun, low in the autumn sky, was shining brightly  on a pretty, footed tea cup.  I have several tea cups on the bottom of my tea cart.  The tea cart itself was a gift from my mom, so many years…

The neighbors are talking.  That’s okay, we certainly are creating quite a stir!  In the nine years that we have lived here, we’ve had a lot of comments from our neighbors on the work that we’ve done on our home.  Nice comments.  You see, the original owners did some rather strange things.  For example, they…

“beep-beep-beep” “beepbeep, beepbeep, beepbeep” “BEEEEEEP” Dani and I had to giggle.  At the same time, exactly, the microwave, the washer and the dryer all sounded their ending beeps at us late this morning!  Kind of makes you wonder who is serving who! I am grateful for these servants in my home.  The washer cleans all…
